85 miles out of Nashville, thinkin bout the way things change
Try an keep it by the reigns
I`m a lone drifter, big money flipper
Take anything you got on the rocks in a snifter
I missed her in Kentucky, went down to Louisiana
I never had no lovin like I had in Alabama
A man of my word and out to hurt nobody
I`m just a mc to keep the boogie in the party
Been sittin lodi dodi since 84 and
I`ll be sittin lodi dodi till I`m eighty four
I couldn`t ask for more, life`s been sweet
So you can save the planet I`ll save your seat
I been gone for weeks, I ain`t slept in days
I can`t find myself in this self made maze
It`s been so long since I`ve been fine
I`m just tryin to see the bottom of the bottle of wine
And I know I`ll see better days
Well I know you`ll see things my way
I never thought about change until
Spend a little time where time stood still
Been lookin for a mill, but I keep comin up shy
I been a broke fool, I ain`t tryin to be that guy
Wanna ride like lightning, roll like thunder
I`m tryin to get some money I ain`t gettin any yonger
At times I wonder at, at times I won`t
Sometimes I give a fuck, but most times I don`t
Don`t, don`t even care
Through stained glass windows these eyse stare
I try to stay straight but it`s kickin my ass
Everytime I look ahead I get a glimpse of the past
I sit half mass like a soldier`s flag
That`s why my left leg limp`s and my Dickies sag
It`s been so long since I`ve been fine
I`m just tryin to see the bottom of the bottle of wine
And I know I`ll see better days
Well I know you`ll see things my way
And I know I`ll see better days
Well I know you`ll see things my way
Well I been all around this crooked land
I came across all walks, I shook Jim Beam`s hand
I got no plans and no place to go
It keeps gettin harder to just say no
I see the people laugh and I see the people cry
That`s how some live and that`s how some die
Well me, myself I`m gonna sit righ here
And I`m a watch this this world break down in tears
All my fears and dark gray skies
Couldn`t crack my smile or break my stride
Got too much pride, I got too much shout
I might be down, but I still ain`t out
Got to much time and that`s all I have
When I leave this world I`ll still be sad
It`s been so long since I`ve been fine
I`m just tryin to see the bottom of the bottle of wine
And I know I`ll see better days
Well I know you`ll see things my way
And I know I`ll see better days
Well I know you`ll see things my way
